O.J. Simpson Was Setup By So Called Friends, His Sentence Was Not Just
textMany reports, and in the Black community have felt there is racial discrimination toward minorities, in the justice system, hopefully that will change, now there is a Black President. Nevertheless, through the years blacks and others have been killed, and people have walked off with the crimes, without all the fan fare, that O.J. Simpson has created. Where were all these people being outraged when blacks through the years were being lynched, abused, discriminated against, even to this day. Tell Me What You Think?

O.J. Is and was and has been a misogynist, and he was as we all know, the murderer Nicole Simpson-Brown. Men should not be able to get away with the murder of women. There is already too much domestic-violence against women in general, and o.J. Got away with it, in specific. It is time he was locked up for killing in cold-blood with malice-aforethought. It is just wrong.

O.J. Simpson is a boil on the @ss off Humanity. It was just a technicality to put him away, because everyone knew he murdered his Nicole way back when and just got away with it.
So they just got him on something else is all.
That, is what happens when TRUE JUSTICE is not served the first time. He should have been put away from day one for the unjustifiable homicide of Nicole.

Like Grenache, I believe that O.J. Is just a victim of his own mistakes. He's an idiot for doing what he did, and his "Emotional Plea" just proved it. He said, and I saw this on T.V., that he didn't know he was doing anything wrong... Moron.

This is a terrible comment on many levels. OJ got off a prison term when it was fairly clear he did it.

What I really hate about your comments is the notion that it needs a black president to give black people a fair crack at justice. No, what it needs is a fair person, a non racist one, regardless of their colour. The irony of your comments is laughable. Furthermore the fanfare of the OJ trial has nothing to do with his colour either. It is because he was a sporting legend and a high profile celebrity. Coupled with the fact that the whole aftermath of him fleeing the crime was caught on camera in a time of 24 hour news channels desperate for action. If Tom Cruise did the same thing do you really expect the media not to run the story 24-7 because he is white. Get real.

And as you ask, I ask you, why were all the people celebrating someone who has murdered someone "getting off" punishment because his skin colour matched theirs? They used to be called racists.

What are you after equality or payback? You can't have both.

OJ's first trial for murder was fair. All the evidence and testimonies were thoroughly challenged and tested. And he got off! I personally believe he DID commit murder and it was a tragedy he walked.

His second trial for the wrongfull deaths I object to philosophically. It's a dangerous precedent that people can be punished in Civil court for something they were acquitted for in a Criminal court. Personally, I was delighted to see him have to pay up, he should have been in jail anyway. And I'm amazed that somehow he still got to keep enough to live a good lifestyle and the winners of that Civil case haven't seen their money.

The 3rd trial? Come on now! No one put a gun into his hand and made him go commando into a hotel room. He already had a record from previous trials, he's a public figure, he should have plenty of intelligence to know people would recognize him and the whole thing would be on various cameras. What an idiot. You can't say he was set up when he used his own two legs to walk into that hotel.

Finally, although the African American and other ethnic groups have gotten a raw deal many times and many ways in the US in NO WAY is OJ and his fate another case of that. Kid gloves were used to deal with each of his trials. The system actually erred in his favor the first time around. OJ is a victim of his own mistakes, not a victim of racists.
